Fra Angelico Palette 6
Muted Tawny
Muted Deliberately desaturated - chroma pulled toward gray, the restraint of tonal painting.
Tawny Warm orange-brown - a traditional term for the color of tanned leather or lion fur.
Palette Analysis
Fra Angelico occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The saturated accent, #372319, registers at 8.6% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. 61 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. This is palette 6 of Fra Angelico's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
